Last week British Superbike and World Superbike riders Leon Haslam, Sam Lowes and Alex Lowes paid us here at Fun Bikes a visit to do a bit of Christmas shopping the right way!

Managing to find some time for us in between their busy schedules, the lads took a look around at what we had to offer here at Fun Bikes HQ and took particular interest in our pit bike collection.

All three lads purchased an M2R TT140MX from our M2R pit bike range with Leon Haslam purchasing an extra bike for his dad Ronald Haslam, the renowned former Grand Prix motorcycle road racer.

If you’re unfamiliar with the names here’s a little snippet of what’s happening in all three of the lad’s racing careers:

Leon Haslam who has ridden in most British and international riding championships is currently in 8th place in the 2012 championships. In previous years Haslam has finished in 4th place in 2011, 2nd in 2010, and 6th in 2009 in the World Superbike Championships. Next year big things are predicted for Haslam as he will move from BMW to Honda for the 2013 World Superbike campaign.

Sam Lowes has recently just signed a deal with Yakhnich Motorsport for the 2013 FIM Supersport world Championship. He has signed the three year contract with the aim of winning the World Supersport Championship and to then move on to the World Superbike class.

Alex Lowes has had a fantastic year with WFR, which saw him reach the BSB Showdown and claim two wins at Silverstone. He has now been tipped to sign a contract with one of the biggest teams in the British Superbike paddock after holding talks with the Samsung Honda squad.

You too can fuel your adrenaline needs by viewing the bikes the lads brought by visiting Fun Bikes online.

When it comes to choosing a bike, mini dirt bikes are extremely popular.

These dirt bikes have a brilliant speed range from 50cc to 250cc - more than enough to give a rider that adrenalin rush!

Mini Dirt Bikes are geared for lower down pulling power which is great for wheelie power. Many people think of wheelies as showing off but it is a vital skill to be able to get your wheel off the ground out on the trail.

One of our best products we have available is our Blue Cobra Mini Dirt Bike with a 50cc engine. This bike has motor cross tyres and a high performance carburettor. Automatic rev and go and 2 stroke engine combined with the easy start pull starter system updated in 2011. This means that this model of bike has the ability for instant acceleration.

The popularity of the bike has also been based on the fact that the graphics featured on the bike are based on Yamaha Motocross rider James Bubba Stewart.

Mini Dirt Bikes are suitable for all riders especially children due to a larger bike being inappropriate and potentially dangerous if it is too big for them to handle properly.

Extreme scooters differ from regular scooter products due the emphasis that is placed upon the weight and strengths of the bars and deck. This is so the scooter can handle the pressure that comes with performing tricks. The quality of the bearings and wheels are also of a higher standard to ensure safety and an easy riding experience.

Confidence also has to work alongside with the ability to perform stunts. That is why Mashed Up scooters are extremely durable so you can feel confident that your scooter will not break from underneath you!

Featured in our range of extreme scooters is the Mashed Up Extreme stunt scooter in blue. This striking scooter will certainly stand out from the crowd, this ride will provide you with an extreme way of riding.

Dirt and pit bikes are an increasingly popular choice here at Fun Bikes and they are incredibly fun to ride. However, even though there doesn’t look like there is a big difference between the two types of bikes there most certainly is.

Both the pit and the dirt bike share similar qualities such as aesthetics, parts, functions and uses but it’s all in the detail that separate these two types of bikes.

For starters, the pit bike has a renowned history for being the go to bike when traveling around circuits and motor pits. This required the bike to be smaller in build, be fitted with smaller tires and reach lower speeds in comparison to the traditional dirt bike. In basic terms, the pit bike is a smaller version of the dirt bike.

However, dirt bikes have a larger speed range. At Fun Bikes we stock a great selection of Dirt bikes that range from 50cc to a staggering 250cc. The KDX 250R is the fastest dirt bike that we stock and it can hit an impressive 70MPH.



The speed that dirt bikes can reach encourages the more experienced driver to invest in that product rather than a pit bike. The speed range of our stock of pit bikes varies from 90cc to 160cc which eases the inexperienced rider into the thrill of riding a bike.

So how do you decide which bike is for? Each bike is specifically built for a purpose, it’s just finding what qualities you need when purchasing a bike. One of the main aspects to consider when buying is what experience of riding do you possess. If you are fairly comfortable with riding a bike then a dirt bike is for you, if not then the purchase of a pit bike which is smaller might be advised. Budget is also a contributing factor although running costs are low for all bike types.

We would love to hear from you so if you have any stories, questions or advice on any of these bikes, please get in touch and leave your comments below. For advice on any aspect of bikes, scooters or quads, please get in touch and we will do our best to help you.
